I've driven Miatas for the last 14 years and just love driving them. That said, I've got it in my head that I want to try a 914. Anybody interested in a swap? Mine is a 1997, black, 170K miles. I've got a LONG list of upgrades and maintenance performed. Flyin' Miata front sway bar, Flyin' Miata frame rail braces, Garage Star fender braces, glass window convertible top, added a NOS OEM CD player, upgraded to Fat Cat shock mounts front and rear, Borla stainless steel cat back exhaust [sounds perfect], reupholstered seats, upgraded both door and headrest speakers, new oil pan seal, have done timing belt, valve cover gasket, KYB-GR2 shocks front, Koni yellows rear, replaced power window bushings with new teflon, new clutch, Hard Dog Hard Bar roll bar...I'm sure there's more. Runs and handles great; I don't race it, ever. I'd only be interested in a 914 of comparable quality and condition. I'm in the greater Los Angeles area. Thanks!

I have a 90 Miata and 73 914 2.0. The 914 is faster and corners better than the Miata. But, the Miata can be and is a winter car (can't drive it in the snow because it has no ABS and not great winter tires).
So, advantages of each although I like my 914 better. Mike |
